"I love how these boots give a festive look to my wardrobe during the holiday season. My only gripes [minus 1 star] are as follows:I feel like the sizing of Minnetonka shoes at DSW is complete different than other stores. I bought size 6 mocs from another store, and they have aged beautifully. I had to get 6.5 from DSW, and the shoes are still really stiff. I tried on these boots at a department store, and they were nice and supple right out of the box. I then ordered these boots from DSW because I had a coupon. The boots were not supple at all; they clearly needed to be broken in. The toe also felt short compared to other boots, so I'm a little concerned. I'm keeping my pair because I'm hoping they break in nicely or I can stretch the leather around the toes more."

"I really love the elfy look this boots give. I usually wear 6.5 and I ordered a size 6. They fit. They're really comfortable. The front of the boots look really good. However, I have skinny calves and these boots make the back of my calves look really weird and bigger than they actually are. They're not flattering when you see the side. I really wanna love these boots but I think they're going back. If you don't have small calves like mine, I would recommend them."
